Blue Check Reusuable Drawstring Gift Bags

I made a group of various sized bags from a yard of scrap upholstery fabric. These will be used for our son’s weekly chore reward prizes. He’s in a pre-allowance stage and we want to teach him the connection between contributing and rewards before we move on to slacking and consequences, :D. So he fills up his Melissa and Doug Responsibility Chart with tokens and then exchanges them once a week for a prize bag. The prizes are simple, like a sheet of stickers, tiny bag of candy, thrift store book/puzzle or dollar store item/toy.
